I had one fitted to my Puma back at the beginning of December for about a week, but we took it off as it took up room where we ended up fitting the remote reservoir for the fox shock absorbers Big Cry

Took mine off because they didn’t tell me they don’t work with ordinary bonnet hinges.
It tries to push the bonnet sideways.
